The Staple Singers – Coming Home: The Early Classics

Coming Home: The Early Classics is a compilation that revisits the early recordings of The Staple Singers, capturing the raw spiritual essence of a group that would go on to become one of the most influential voices in American soul and gospel.

In this formative period, marked by simple arrangements and deeply emotional delivery, the group’s sound is anchored by Roebuck “Pops” Staples’ distinctive guitar and the heartfelt vocal harmonies of his children.

Coming Home is an essential record for those seeking to understand the origins of a group that would later become a powerful voice for social change and political awareness through music. An intimate, beautiful, and deeply moving collection.
